Some interesting figures in there.
NJ's Gold Coast is booming. Hoboken, Jersey City and West New York all grew well above the national growth rate and made it onto the >2.5% growth rate list (4.1% in Hoboken, 3.5% in WNY and 2.8% in JC, to 1.7% nationally--though that's actually a considerable slowdown in Hoboken compared to 2000-2010, but JC has already added more people than it did 2000-2010). Presumably Weehawken would also be on there if it had more than 50,000 people.
Some of the very-fast-percent-growers are interesting, too. Irvine, California is near the top despite being pretty heavily built up already. Rapid growth in the city proper of Denver is a bit surprising, too. And San Francisco made it onto the percentage growth list.
Nearly every large city is growing somewhat, even "sick man" cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and Newark that have seen declines within the past few decades. There are only six declining cities with a population >200,000 that I see (Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Toledo and Rochester).
